The first volume of a definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros is set centuries before the events of "A Game of Thrones" and answers key questions about the dynasty's origins, conflicts and relationships with dragons.
It's GRRM, so you know it's not going to be bad. Probably should have been shorter though.
From Aegon's Conquest to Jaehaerys I ascent and from Viserys I to Aegon III. Will revisit later once House of the Dragon S2 is out.
Most boring book about dragons ever written
Can't wait for the next one.
This is really excellent. It apes history writing, and sounds a quasi-scholarly tone, so it is very different from the rest of ASOIAF and probably not for everyone, but I loved every page.
This seems to essentially be Martinโs version of The Silmarillion, so if you enjoyed that youโll probably like this too.
Begats upon begats, one grisly death or treachery followed by another worse, only finally lightened by the wicked wit of a mushroom
